Stellar Blade was a title that caused much controversy in the video game industry. Many individuals didn’t find the character design appropriate and thought it was vile.
Baldur’s Gate 3 was a title that received acclaim from critics and users. These two games and a Sylvester Stallone movie have a common link, as shared by an eagle-eyed gamer on Reddit.

In video games, characters are immortalized by their voice. Fans also quickly recognize actors who lend their voices to famous characters. When an actor has a diverse portfolio, spotting them takes a real eye for detail.
This is precisely what happened wheb a voice actor who lent her voice to a character from Shift Up’s latest action-adventure title was spotted by a meticulous fan. The artist was Díana Bermudez, who has voiced Raven, one of the bosses in the title.
As pointed out by a player on Reddit, Bermudez also appeared in other popular media including Baldur’s Gate 3, and Moon Knight, a TV show part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe:

While Shift Up’s latest got a lot of flak for Eve’s character design, it seems like players who liked the game and its performances looked past all of that and focused solely on the game’s offering.
While Díana Bermudez deserves all the credit for her stellar work , the appreciation she got from the player highlights something profound.

An excellent single-player game comprises good pre-production work and sound performances. When a game like Baldur’s Gate 3 becomes hyper-successful, artists voicing iconic characters experience a boost in relevance and popularity.
The appreciation bestowed upon Díana Bermudez for her work in Stellar Blade shows that gamers appreciate an artist’s earnest work even if a game has questionable design choices.

And it also goes on to show that there is much more to a game than meets the eye. So, judging its depth based on its visuals, or worse, its character design might result in a poor judgment on the consumer’s part.
This is precisely what has been happening in the industry lately. Some of the most prominent examples are Marvel’s Spider-Man 2‘s MJ character model controversy, and the outrage towards the protagonist in the upcoming Xbox exclusive, Fable.
